Thank you @billbaggsstatepark Rangers Alex and Hugo, and turtle volunteers Rumya and Karen for coming to the rescue. Together we removed a massive bundle of #traprope from the shoreline of #capeflorida state park during a sunrise paddle on a picture perfect day.

Initially, I was only able to cut off about 1/4 of what turned out to be a 300 lbs. death trap. I needed help. After waving down the trusty turtle trackers on their ATV, we radioed the rangers; “We’re going to need shovels and muscle!”
*
Luckily, I brought my new @gillmarine serrated knife, and Ranger Alex skipped the gym earlier that day!

This adult Yellow crowned Night Heron calls the #mangroves along the #viscaya gardens home. During an early morning site visit for an upcoming #cleanup, we were lucky to witness its highly adapted hunting prowess; quickly catching, disarming, cracking, crunching, and ingesting a feisty crab.

Crabs play important roles within the mangrove #ecosystems. Besides being a food source for #birds, their larvae is a staple for juvenile fish along the coastal waterways.
*
Crabs also dig burrows which aerate the sediment, diminish the effect of extreme temperatures, and serve as water reservoirs within the #livingshoreline.

Scientists estimate that by the year 2050, 99 percent of all pelagic birds will have consumed plastic at some point in their lives.

Today we spotted a seagull scoop a piece of latex during a beach cleanup with @vassarclubsouthflorida. Luckily, it wasn’t a clean getaway.

We like watching birds, especially the variety of resident and migratory #shorebirds that call #keybiscayne home. Thank you @vassarclubsouthflorida for removing 30 lbs. of plastic and marine debris from the #bearcut preserve sanctuary today. Every piece matters.
